Purpose of This Feature
In the field, there are situations where simply "reading a manual" can be a barrier.
- Reading text can be burdensome — some people prefer to listen while keeping their hands moving rather than following along with their eyes.
- Even when a manual is translated into their native language, some people find it easier to understand by listening rather than reading.
- Their hands are occupied, leaving no room to turn pages.
Even in these situations, the text-to-speech feature allows users to make full use of the manual.
Feature Details
Text-to-Speech Narration
Content is read aloud by an AI voice in the following order: cover → step title → description → custom fields → video subtitles.
If a video is registered on the cover or a step, video playback and subtitle narration will begin simultaneously after the custom fields have been read aloud.
If a video contains both subtitles and audio, the video's audio will not play while the subtitles are being read aloud.
If you find it disruptive that the video's audio starts partway through after the subtitle narration ends, please set the video audio to mute.
